      This may come as a surprise to you, but yes, in a democracy the people are to blame for who gets elected.

      The Dems running a wet rag is a significant failing and they share the blame for fascism coming into power.

      At the same time, that in no way excuses the thought process of any voter who sat by and said, “I don’t like the wet rag. Let’s go with fascism instead!”

      “Too radical”

      “Not radical enough”

      “Trump Lite”

      “Didn’t care about Trump voters”

      “Another predicable establishment candidate”

      “We didn’t know her”

      “All she said was she not the other guy”

      “Didn’t expose Trump enough”

      “Joy bullshit! Where are the serious policies?”

      “Elections are about feelings and she didn’t have appeal”

      “Supports the Gaza genocide”

      “Didn’t inspire pro-Israel voters”

      “Failed border czar”

      “Blue MAGA”

      Everyone seems to think they know why Harris lost, and it’s always “didn’t do enough of what I like”. It’s boring and unhelpful.
